Boiler Drum is a very crucial part in case of Sub-critical boilers. It is cylindrical in shape and situated at the top of the boiler. In Super-critical units, water is directly converted into steam so drum is not required, but in case of subcritical boilers, the whole water quantity is not directly converted into steam. […]

Large thermal power plants generate electricity by using the thermal energy of fuel. Most of the power plants are pulverized coal fired boiler that means thermal energy is generated by the combustion of pulverized (crushed) coal.In order to control the combustion process,every power plant has their Burner Management System/FSSS(Furnace Safeguard Supervisory System) system,but Optimum efficiency is […]

New generation thermal power plants are larger in capacity and having sophisticated firing systems, which are more expensive. So it has become necessary to have a coordinated fuel burner management system. Why Boiler Protection System? Inside the furnace, for ignition purpose we generally use HFO (Heavy Furnace Oil), LDO (Light Diesel Oil) and Coal as […]

In order to generate electricity, we require mechanical torque and for the mechanical torque we require a fluid which will rotate the turbine, in thermal power plants to rotate the turbine we use steam as a medium. Steam is generated in boiler with the help of coal and water and after burning the coal, the […]
Boilers operating below the critical pressure are generally fitted with a steam drum, which is known as the heart of the boiler. In the steam drum, the main objective is to separate the steam from the steam-water mixture, which is coming through the riser tubes. Basically In the boiler, the feed-water comes through the feed-water […]
Conventionally BOILER is a pressurised vessel which converts water in to steam. According to modern definition of boiler “it is a heat exchanger whose work is to produce high pressure steam from water”. In this heat exchanger, the hot side is the mixture resulting from the combustion of the fuel & air and the fluid […]
Here we have explained you how a thermal power plant works in both aspects theoretical as well as practical. Theory : Basically all thermal power plants works on the principle of Rankin cycle and Now a days most of the power plants work on the Rankin cycle principle with regenerative feed heating and reheat […]
